Our boys over at the Homebreakin / Punchout camp have a new filter disco french touch EP out now. You should grab yerself a copy if your into that sort of thing. I really like these 2 tracks off the EP and below is a nice filter disco track from Ashton Edits.

Kurtis Blow, what can I say that haven't been said about dude. He was one of the Original M.C.'s out of New York to really break out big and become a huge star when hip hop was just breaking. He is way over-sampled, to the point that I never want to hear a "These are the breaks" sample again, ever. He broke big way back in 1979 with Christmas Rappin'. Copycat did a little re-edit of Rappin' Blow, which I posted a link too below, as Im sure the soundcloud will die any minute now. I also included "Party Time", which for me is the best Kurtis Blow song ever. As it featured home-town heroes Trouble Funk on the beat.

A little Glitch Hop to get the morning started right from Polish Ambassador.

Finished a rough draft of a remix for Rory Hoy last night, I think it needs one more little break-down and it will be perfect, but I need to find the right idea to make it work. It's raining here in Alexandria today, which is a bit of a let down after the wonderful sunny day we had yesterday. Oh well, gonna go by the AGFA studio today and hopefully finish up these mixdowns for Gazeebo.

Sorry for the delay here at FW HQ, my wife had a baby boy last week and I have just been handling family duties and working on some re-edits and new tunes. Frank and I got up this last weekend and played a great outdoor gig here in DC, it was the closing of the Forward Fest and it was such a wonderful day. The picture is of my daughter dance battling a nice couple, while we drop some Sleeve and Stevie Wonder tunes.

I also wanted to mention we got an EP in the works from Rory Hoy coming out in a little bit, the Kool Hertz EP should be out any day now and The Breakbeat Junkie vs DJP EP on Baffin should be out in 2-3 weeks. These are all super hot EP's, and we are looking forward to putting these out.

Axe has been dropping some ghetto funk heat recently and I thought I would share. Dude kicks it from the land of OZ, and while he isn't doing anything super ground breaking, he does just drop solid bombs that seem to work in a lot of situations. I can drop these in a top 40's ish type set or straight up for the underground.
